Company name

 How one can have a unique name for their company or business or enterprise all over India?

An entrepreneur or a businessman when chooses a name for a company if he/she wants that his/her company name should be unique and different from others then he or she should apply with the office of the Registrar of Companies to get a unique name that is a name only for his/her company and not with the District Industries Centre only.

When one forms a company then if the entrepreneur/businessman is interested to have a particular name for their company with no company having that name all over India then he/she can apply for that with the Registrar of Companies. It is only through this that a company can be allowed a particular name. What happens is that this office before allowing for that company name will check the name to find out whether it exists with any other company or not all over India. If there are other companies with similar names or a company with that particular name then the entrepreneur/businessman who has applied for that company name can not be allowed for that name of the company. But if there is no company with that name and the name can be allowed to that company then also the office cannot allow for that name before checking with the trademark office. The office will check with the trademark office whether there is a trademark in that name or not. If there exists a company with a trademark for that name then also the entrepreneur/businessman cannot be allowed to have that particular name. Similarly, if an entrepreneur/businessman approaches for a trademark for his company the trademark office will check whether a company exists in that name or not. If it exists then the trademark is not allowed to that company. Sometimes even internationally for some companies, if a company name exists then also the entrepreneur/businessman cannot be allowed to have that particular name.

So when an entrepreneur/businessman has taken registration of the company name with the Registrar of Companies, then all over India there will be only one company with that name. But when one has taken registration for their enterprise with District Industries Centre only then there can be several companies in that name. So when one wants to have a particular name for their company and wants that their company name should be only with their company all over India then one must apply for the company name with the Registrar of Companies.
